The energy storage density of batteries is better that that.
Give them time & I am sure they will improve things. Just dont go holding your breath waiting !!
Nothing would make me happier than seeing the worlds dependence on oil diminish. The Arabs could then go back to eating dates & chasing camels instead of fighting.
